Chrome is your friend over IE. IMHO. You say it locked up FireFox and then your computer. To me that reads you have other issues as it seems FF is the issue as the site should not lock your computer. (Or even FF) IMHO.

It is definitely a FF issue. I will have to try Chrome. IE keeps logging me off DBS even after checking the remember me box.

I use the nightly builds of firefox and have not had an issue with accessing dbstalk. I do not get warnings at all about dbstalk being a reported attack page.

See Mozilla bug 820283. Firefox 17 apparently is not updating its internal cache of the reported site list properly when a site drops off the Google list. This is reported to be fixed in Firefox 18, due to be released in a week or so.

Meanwhile, users of Firefox 17 can force Firefox to check the current list at Google every time, instead of relying on cached data, as follows:

Enter about:config in the Address/URL bar.Press the big button to bypass the warning (if you haven't turned this off already).Enter confirm in the Filter bar to limit display to just options containing 'confirm'.Double-click on urlclassifier.confirm-age and change the value to 0.

Great post. Thank you for coming up with this one. I was starting to think their are more to it again. Glad their is not.

Side Nite...Still in bed. Turns out I have viral bronchitis. So my temp keeps going from normal to 103 and in between. This has not been fun.

FWIW, this attack warning would pop up several times a day when I clicked on a link taking me to a subscribed thread. However, everything has been just fine the last couple days or so (crossing my fingers).

I'm now getting an occasional popup ad for I believe is a poker site. Closed that and it's follow by a huge popup, similar to the one in the first post in this thread, but this one states FF is out of date and needs to be upgraded.

Only problem, my FF is current and McAfee warns me going forward is dangerous.
